More Food For Thought

Candy sushi is ideal for bridal showers, birthday parties or for any occasion where you are looking to combine your love of sushi with your love of sweets! To create these charming bite-sized treats you will need:
a sushi rolling mat (cover it with plastic wrap)
your favourite bite-sized candy for the filling (smarties, licorice, etc.)
green and red fruit roll ups (for the seaweed wrap and ginger)
green licorice (for the wasabi) and pink licorice (for the salmon)
You will also need to make a batch of rise crispy squares (for the rice).

To create rolls, start by layering your green fruit roll up on the bottom of the plastic covered mat, followed by a thin layer of rice crispy square mixture. Add your filling and roll. Cut into pieces and arrange on the plate. To create salomon "sushi", hand form the rice crispy treats to create the bottom rice layer and then slice the pink licorice open and spread over the top.. Chop up some green licorice and red fruit roll up for garnish and serve with chopsticks!

Food for Thought

One of the latest trends in weddings and events is bite-sized samplings of your favourite foods. There is a huge resurgence in the popularity of comfort foods and caterers are increasingly being asked to set up food stations featuring couples top picks. Mini burgers are really popular right now as are bite-sized versions of classics such as macaroni and cheese and French fries served in shot glasses. Even if you don’t want to commit to serving bite sized foods for your main meal, why not introduce them during the cocktail hour or at a midnight buffet? They are perfect because everybody is sure to love the classics and by arranging the food at stations people can walk around and mingle while enjoying their favorite bites. Inspired Occasions created some bite sized nibbles for a recent event and they were a huge hit! The Mar-a-Lago burgers, as featured on Oprah, kept guests coming back for more. Don’t forget to top with the Mar-a-Lago Pear Chutney! And who can resist fries in a shot glass, ketchup included?
